The study can be seen as a pilot one to investigate the intrapsychic bonds of coping strategies, rigidity and a part of creativity (divergent thinking). The main results show, that more rigid individuals have tendencies to be submissive and nonintrusive in social relationships, they are emotionally instable, hostile and not confident to their environment. Creativity can be an effective regulator of successful coping. Prosocial fulfillment can boost successful coping with demanding situations, it is an important precondition of effective 'functioning' of a healthy and integrated personality. This obviously assumes increased level of flexibility and it means that by a slow removal of manifestations of an individual's rigidity, by a more effective education, the selection of coping strategies can be channeled in an adequate direction. And this is the reason why it is also inevitable further to observe and examine their intrapsychic bonds.

The study compares two differently constructed coping instruments: COPE (Carver et al., 1989) and CISS (Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations; Endler and Parker, 1990). A point is made of the discriminatory validity of the scales being analyzed, their critical evaluation by other authors and relations of the analogous coping strategies identified by means of the various scales. Results obtained on a group of 242 adolescents - Upper Grammar School students - are also interpreted as regards differences in the preference of coping strategies by girls and boys in accordance with the coping methods employed.

The aims of the present study are three-fold. Firstly, to investigate the use of different attachment and coping strategies among members of the security services of the Czech Republic, and explore the level of experienced mental overload. Secondly, to examine the relationship between the constructs employed in the study. In considering theoretical background and previous research (Janke & Erdmann, 2002; Johnstone & Feeney, 2015; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2012) we expect a negative relationship between positive coping strategies and experienced mental overload, but a positive association between negative coping strategies and experienced mental overload. Thirdly, to explore the incremental validity of hyperactivation and deactivation strategies over and above demographics and coping strategies in predicting mental overload. Both attachment and coping strategies were averagely used by the subjects of our study, while the mental overload was somewhat lower than the norm. Our study shows that the attachment strategies of hyperactivation and deactivation were superior predictors of mental overload. The results suggest that the construct of attachment strategies is more important in predicting workplace overload, compared to negative coping.

This is a probe into the mutual interaction of anxiety, coping strategy and type of situation. Spielberger's STPI questionnaire measuring trait anxiety and the Frankovský-Baumgartner inventory of the Strategy of Procedure in Demanding Situations were administered to a sample of 48 students. The results imply that anxiety does not affect the choice of coping strategies to the same degree in all types of situations. In situations relating to employment, anxiety rather supports avoidance behavior, while in those concerned with moral an interpersonal issues it tends to seek support.

This study aims to measure health behaviour change in chronic dermatoses and to assess the predictive power of coping strategies for engagement in health behaviour. The research sample was comprised of 120 participants, which included a group of 60 patients with chronic dermatoses (30 patients with psoriasis and 30 patients with vitiligo) and 60 healthy individuals as controls. Instruments used in this study were Health Behaviour Inventory and Coping Orientations to Problems Experiences COPE. The study revealed that there is no difference in health behaviour between vitiligo patients and controls. Psoriasis patients more frequently engage in preventive behaviour than healthy individuals. Coping strategies can be used to predict health behaviour in chronic dermatoses.

The study is aimed at an attempt to evaluate the intensification of feeling of anger and coping strategies in Polish and French patients with bulimia nervosa. 30 Polish adolescent girls and 14 French adolescent girls suffering from bulimia nervosa were examined. The study methods included the Self-Expression and Control Scale by Van Elderena et al. (1997) and the Brief COPE by Carvera (1997). The results revealed significant differences between the experimental groups in coping strategies. Polish bulimic patients make less use of coping strategies based on positive reinterpretation (p lower than 0,01), humour (p lower than 0,001), and acceptance (p lower than 0,05) and they show a significantly higher alcohol-drug disengagement (p lower than 0,001) than the French patients. In addition, Polish clinical group show a significantly higher anger-out (p lower than 0,001).

The purpose of the article is to present a fragment of organizational reality as observed in the course of the research carried out during the ceremony of bidding farewell to a dismissed chief, who, for many years, had been at the helm of one the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) training centres. The authoress refers to the metaphor of a theatre in order to present this event as an example of changes taking place in the organization. For the sake of the paper, the depicted ceremony has been divided into two parts. The first one has been referred to as 'acts', and they are as follows: act 1 - preparations for the ceremonial farewell to the dismissed chief; act 2 - the official part of the ceremony; act 3 - collective celebration. The second part presents the strategies adopted to cope with the organizational changes. The labour community experiencing the changes within their organization constructed the social event to manifest their collective discontent at the ongoing alterations. The spectacle 'Bidding Farewell to the Hero' was constructed by adopting the coping strategies such as: dramatic co-operation, concealing embarrassment, placing one's trust in a role, backing practices and awarding the role of a hero to bureaucracy.

The aim of the study was to identify relations between coping strategies applied in a situation of confrontation with stressful situation and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in the group of paramedics, and to analyse moderating effects of specific self-efficacy and affectivity. Sample: 62 paramedics, between age 21-53 (M = 35.91, SD = 8.97). Methods: Posttraumatic Growth Inventory PTGI (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996); Multidimensional coping inventory, COPE (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989); The General Self-Efficacy Scale, GSES (Jerusalem & Schwarzer, 1981); Positive and Negative Affect Scale, PANAS (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). Results: Rate of the total PTG in the sample indicates the presence of PTG at the average. We found positive relations between coping strategies: active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seeking social support – instrumental, use of emotional social support, religious coping, focus on and venting of emotions, behavioural disengagement, substance abuse (smoking) and PTG; we identified moderation effects of self-efficacy and positive affectivity on the relation between coping and PTG.

The paper asks in what ways students in Czech higher education cope with sexual harassment and what strategies they choose to deal with it. It builds on a qualitative study of a higher education institution in Prague. The study reveals that student’s narratives are organized on two planes between which there is a clear discrepancy: on the “hypothetical” plane external strategies of open resistance against sexual harassment predominate; on the second plane involving students’ narratives about dealing with real situations of harassment or deeper considerations of hypothetical cases of harassment, scepticism prevails toward these strategies. In this case internal strategies predominate, together with avoiding the harasser. Active resistance against harassment and challenge to the status quo through coping strategies for sexual harassment are limited by two types of “ideational” and “material”. On the ideational level students often downplay their experience, express fears of secondary victimization and being accused of making false accusations; these responses are tied to a severe power imbalance. The students report the lacking information about the issue and distrust in school management.

The availability of labour, education, services and transportation significantly infl uences the quality of life in urban and rural areas. The supply of job opportunities and services is not suffi cient in rural and peripheral villages and particularly young and well-educated people often respond by migrating. The people who remain cope with the problems of accessibility by various commuting methods. However, the poor supply of jobs and social infrastructure may be a source of considerable problems for less mobile people trying to satisfy basic needs. This article employs in-depth case study research to evaluate the daily mobility of people in peripheral municipalities in Western Bohemia. It aims to identify the problems and barriers in the everyday life of the local population and to identify forms of daily mobility related to work and service provision. It evaluates how the lack of job opportunities and basic civic amenities infl uences the everyday strategies that people adopt to cope with the spatial mismatch between the place of residence and the place where jobs and services are located. The daily mobility and strategies of people living in municipalities are set in the context of post-communist changes in commuting behaviour. Theoretically and methodologically the article draws on the strong tradition of time geography.
